If you've ever been inside an Airbnb — or God help you, rented out your own place on the space-sharing site — you know what to expect. A series of emails about how to get the keys. A framed print-out of the wifi password. A binder with takeout menus from a bunch of local favorites.

And, without question, a sampling of these IKEA staples.

Maybe you've grown out of the Billy bookcase or Lack side table, but nothing says "I don't even care if they have an orgy on the couch because as soon as I pay off my student loans and stop doing this, it's going in the garbage" like furniture that costs less than dinner for two at McDonald's.
